For a better understanding of the physical mechanisms involved in insulators submitted to electron irradiation inside a scanning electron microscope, it is important to investigate charge trapping and detrapping. The commonly used technique to deduce the trapping ability and the motion process of electric charges is based on two complementary experimental methods: the scanning electron microscope mirror effect (SEMME) and the induced current measurement (ICM). In this paper, our study is devoted to the influence of temperature on the behavior of porcelain materials during electron injection time. To evaluate the geometry of the trapped charge distribution, a detailed analysis using the mirror image formation and its evolution is developed.

Mass loss and Scanning Electron Microscope method (SEM) have been used to study the corrosion inhibition efficiency on mild steel and aluminium using synthesized inhibitors i.e. N-Benzylidene aniline (CI1) and N-Benzylidene 4-methylaniline (CI2) in Trichloroacetic acid (TCAA). Study reveals that both mild steel and aluminium are prone to corrosion in organic acid like TCAA. Out of these two metals, aluminium is more vigorously corroded by the TCAA in comparison to mild steel in same conditions and synthesized inhibitors CI1 and CI2 are almost same effective for mild steel and aluminium.

In a conventional scanning electron microscope, a thin, grounded conductive coating is applied to specimens that are poor electrical conductors to prevent retarding and deflection of the incident electron beam. in a variable pressure or environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), excess charge on the surface of uncoated poorly conducting specimens is balanced using ionized environmental gas. Ionized gas in environmental mode and grounded conductive coatings in conventional or high vacuum mode minimize charging at the specimen surface, however significant charge trapping may still occur in the implanted sub-surface regions of poorly conducting materials. A small fraction (<10-6) of the incident electrons are trapped at irradiation induced or pre-existing defects within the irradiated specimen. The trapped charge induces a highly localized electric field which can result in electro-migration and micro-segregation of charged mobile defect species within the irradiated micro-volume of specimen.
